So I used my Doppler a few times today trying to find my baby's heartbeat. After a few failed attempts I think I finally…

That's what I hoping to learn@jasholbert

YouTube videos helped me decipher the difference between the arteries, my heartbeat, the placenta and baby.

Lol could be! I'll YouTube it tomorrow and be a pro by the end of the week 😉😂 @hermommy

See that's what I'm thinking, it's a little early and I don't really know what I'm doing so it'll take time. Thank you :) @jasholbert

@canaryv chances are you are correct, especially with you having a murmur, I also have one and it makes finsing Brins hb easy! But truthfully you probably skipped a few beat a when counting lol

The lower numbers could also just be blood flow to the placenta. I put the doppler on my own heart to hear it and get a reading then tried to find babys. I have to sonoline B so it telling me the BPM helps me know if it's his or not. I think there's 3 modes on the doppler but they should all tell you the same thing. Keep trying or wait a few weeks. I can totally tell mine isn't near as sensitive as the doctors even at 34 weeks. She can put it on my belly and find it immediatley yet at home I have to fish around for it. lol and the earlier you are it seems harder to find because they have so much room to move around.

Lol thank you :) I'll mess with it again tomorrow! & I didn't mean it never moved, just that after 4 sonograms with baby being in one general area that's obviously the first place I looked & found what I was thinking is the heart. Am I right or wrong? I dunno, it takes practice and I'm not worried :) @hermommy

I didn't find mine on the home Doppler until close til 11 weeks and when I did I had the start in the middle and angle it downwards a bit to the left under my pubic bone. The Doppler never picked up the BPM until recently for me.

It was 171 :) @jacesterlingsmommy

Lol wasn't giving you attitude but alrightie. Have a great night! I appreciate it (; @princessalaynasmommy

Mine wouldn't do the doppler until 12 weeks and I know the doctors is much more sensitive so that could be it as well. How many BPM was It at 8 weeks? It should be around there. At 8 weeks mine was 172.

I don't know how to work the stupid modes 😂 I'll keep messing with it@hermommy

your baby isn't going to be in the same spot every time but good luck with the theory

Yes I know@soon2bemommykatie

oh girl don't get an attitude when you asked for advice. I'm telling you like your doctor will tell you the 90s is definitely you, at 5 to 6 weeks when the babies heart starts beating it's a little slower but it's still not in the 90s

Well I officially heard the heartbeat at 8weeks even so I know it's in the general area but thank you!@princessalaynasmommy @lovebuggg2016

@canaryv if it's th SONO B line it should have a screen that'll tell you girl

The pocket fetal Doppler & well tbh idk how to do it lol I was just counting for 15 seconds and multiplied by 4 like another preggie told me to @hermommy

The other sound you thought was probably an artery which sound like heartbeats due to the blood rushing through them. I'd wait another two weeks then try. They tried to do a Doppler on me at 7 at the hospital and just kept getting arteries. I ended up with an ultrasound. Good luck! I'm sure you'll here it soon though!

but my doctor found my baby's at 10 weeks so I bet you can it just takes patience. and you have to be really low, like in button you pants and scoot your panties down and listen right above your public bone. you have to move the doppler very slow and only move it a tiny bit at a time, the babies heart beat will be very fast and you'll know it when you hear it. baby will be like 130 and up, if it's 120-125 it's probably placenta, or echo, or the cord, but that means you're close to the right spot

the baby heartbeat should be between 130-150

which Doppler did you get? it's very likely you're just counting the BMP wrong

I've got a murmur so I know the difference between my heart and the other heartbeat I found @princessalaynasmommy & I'm not stressed, I know it takes time I was just wondering if there's tips or something 😋@modelo_chula @lovebuggg2016

You usually can't hear the heart beat for the baby on a Doppler until 12 weeks. You're probably picking up and artery. 😔

that was definitely your heart beat

They say to becareful using those because it can stress you out trying to find your baby's heartbeat but your baby should be fine
